LEAD US, HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1. Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
O’er the world’s tempestuous sea:
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing,
If our God our Father be.
2. Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er
us;
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before
us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
3. Spirit of our God descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every feeling blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.
